When did y'all start using straws again? I have found its so much easier for me to get all my water and protein in if I use a straw. I am 1 month post op.

a few weeks out I was using a straw. I do like drinking through a straw better

I still haven't used a straw and I'm 3 months post op. My surgeons office said no straws ever. I do miss drinking with a straw though ????

Is it because they could cause excess gas? I love and miss straws too

I was simply told not to use them at first, that using a straw makes you take bigger gulps

Is it because they could cause excess gas? I love and miss straws too

Yes, too much air = too much gas. I've become used to it now.
